How to Recommend

1. Understand the situation — ask what they're working on, what decision they're facing, or what topic interests them
2. Search the indexes — read references/indexes/by-topic.md and references/indexes/by-guest.md
3. Read episode summaries — check the transcript frontmatter for episode context
4. Recommend 3-5 episodes with:
   • Episode title and guest name
   • Why this episode is relevant to their situation
   • The specific timestamp or section to focus on (if available)
   • What they'll walk away with

Recommendation Format

For each episode:

### [Episode Title] — [Guest Name]
**Why this one:** [1-2 sentences on why it's relevant to their situation]
**Key takeaway:** [The specific insight they'll get]
**Listen for:** [The specific moment or section that matters most]

Priority Rules

• Prefer episodes where Sam or the guest shares a specific framework or methodology
• Prefer episodes with real numbers and real examples over philosophical discussions
• If the user is facing a specific decision, prioritize episodes where someone faced the same decision
• Always include at least one MoneyWise episode if the topic involves money management, wealth, or post-exit life
